Excerpt from Poems
The variation from the Author's original plan, of including in this volume some poems pub lished in an earlier one, has been adopted from a wish to gratify his readers by presenting them with What was not before in their possession; and the smallness of the impression rendering it proportionably more expensive, was an obstacle to the size of the volume being extended to what was first proposed; the Author, therefore, felt it incumbent on him not to make his Subscribers pay a second time for the same article: had he indeed succeeded, as he at first ant1c1pated, in ex tending his list of Subscribers to 250 names, the additional quantity of letter - press would have been given, and his own remuneration would at the same time have been greater. These, how ever, are not, the Author is persuaded, very ma terial considerations with his Subscribers; qua lity, not quantity, Will in?uence their judgment in justice to himself, he has accounted for the deficiency of the latter, and the former he cheer fully submits to their candid appreciation.
